The speech communication degree program offers a traditional major as a base for preprofessional study as a supporting program for career preparations in fields such as business, church operation, government service, health administration, the ministry, paralegal services, public relations, social service, and other professions involving public contact. It also provides pre-law preparation. A teacher education major in speech communication requires 29 credit hours; the minor, 24 credit hours. A minor is required of all students majoring in speech.
